Mask of the Week Misc. Info & Previous Year's Links:

To Post:
Each week features a different theme, as well as a letter of the alphabet for coming up with new masking ideas. 

Please include the brand and name of the mask you are trying out, as well as a photo if possible. Any other details are greatly appreciated, including scent, if it's an exfoliating mask (include acid info if known), your overall experience, and whether or not you would repurchase. Don't forget to include a grade (thanks to @ShortErica for the idea) to help others along the way.

Most importantly, have fun and merry masking!

Mask Hacks - Here are a few to get started thanks to our lovely BIC-ers, a big thank you for these fabulous ideas!

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge

You aren't missing a thing, @Shosh85!

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge

Oh my gosh I finally went into Walmart today!  Itโ€™s sheet mask heaven in there!  There was another display across from this one all of sheet masks as well!  I was hoping to find maybe four or five kinds and not a whole aisle dedicated to them! D5671121-19B6-41FA-A516-36CCE47C5A6B.jpeg

 

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge

@heartsmyface  Omg so many masks!!!!

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge

This is absolutely ridiculous @heartsmyface ๐Ÿ˜† don't mind me,,, I'm just over here being jealous!!! ๐Ÿคฃ

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge

@heartsmyface  I heard the Canadian Walmart was better! Looks like it's true! Holy sheet masks! My Walmart only has a little end cap of them ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜‚

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge

@Shosh85  Iโ€™m in Canada mine isnโ€™t like that!!! Maybe just some are!!

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge

@Shosh85 @heartsmyface ๐Ÿคฏ

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge

Omg. *falls to the floor*

 

That's sheet mask heaven!  I want to go. Yet I don't need to go. Yet I WANT to go. Lol

 

@heartsmyface 

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge

@l8totheparty  I understand that internal battle all too well. I ended up buying four masks while there (trying to be practical) but canโ€™t stop thinking about going back for more.  At least I know theyโ€™re there and close by if I need a stash refresher.  

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge

@heartsmyface wow that's amazing !

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge

This is a reason I should only go to Walmart for my prescriptions. What a crazy amount of masks @heartsmyface - thanks for sharing!

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge

@ShortErica   I donโ€™t naturally gravitate toward Walmart but now that I know....haha Iโ€™ll be back. I also didnโ€™t know they sold groceries.  

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge

Oh yeah! $1 pizza dough at Walmart is a wonderful thing for make your own pizza nights @heartsmyface 

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge

@ShortErica Oh that sounds like something the little one would really enjoy making!  Now we HAVE to go back!  

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge

@heartsmyface Another trick is we put Papa John's garlic sauce on the crust. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge

Oh wow @heartsmyface . I'm so jealous. The walmarts here do not have anything like this. How wonderful.

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge

This is in Wal-Mart, @heartsmyface ๐Ÿ˜ณ? You got lucky, the ones around me are nothing like this!

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge

@eshoe   Yeah. A few of you had mentioned finding masks at Walmart which is why I went (I bc didnโ€™t even remember to look for the masks on my list)   Like gosh!  The Walmart isnโ€™t even big at Coquitlam mall so I really wasnโ€™t expecting to find a lot.  

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge

"R" is for Rose Gold and Revital

I tried out the Neogen Lab Revital Propolis mask. The fit on this was fairly nice, a bit large. It's a thin cotton mask and very well saturated. The mask promises lifting and nourishing. Didn't really see any lifting but my skin definitely felt nourished and looked "bounce-y" after I used it! It didn't have any strong scent. I would definitely use this again!

I also tried out the 111 Mask which I think I got from FFF or some gwp - not sure but I didn't buy it. I did not like this - it's a two piece mask but the fit, especially on the bottom, wasn't great. I just don't feel like it really did anything - my skin basically looked the same after using it and it didn't really give any nourishment or hydration. TBH I'm kind of convinced this is one of those products that is super expensive, but mostly used to bump up the value on subscription boxes or fancy gwp. I definitely do not recommend anyone spend nearly $30 on this. 

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge

@Kim888  So expensive especially when you didnโ€™t like it!!

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge

@Kim888  I didnโ€™t like this mask at all either. Itโ€™s crazy how expensive it is๐Ÿคฏ
